We have no plans to discontinue the use of paid, professional translators, whose services we value tremendously. Wededicate a tremendous amount of resources to professional translation. In fact, it is one of the single largest line-items in the Adobe TV budget.

Our goal for Community Translation is not to replace professional translation. We are not seeking out professional translators and asking them to work for free. Our goal is to give Adobe product users a way to help people in their countries who do not speak English. We want to extend the availability of our content to people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from it, mainly in those countries where Adobe does not provide localized learning content.

We believe Community Translation is an appropriate supplement to, not replacement for, the professional translations we already do.
